Scenario

When spiritual communities fracture over personal drama

Our meditation group fell apart when two people started a romantic relationship and broke up badly and now we're all taking sides even though none of us wanted to. We're supposed to be practicing compassion and instead we're being petty and I don't know if we can salvage what we built together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very human messiness of desire and disappointment tests whether spiritual practice can hold the weight of actual lives being lived.
